Hi guys - I have been trying to fly through a few threads to find the answer to my question, but without look - should I have overseen it, my apologies fro asking again: Can somebody tell me the name of the Lacoste Steel racket, that was sold as the T2000 under Wilson? Can't even find that in my Kuebler book :-(
Thanks for your help.

If I am not mistaken, the 1963 original was never given a model designation. It had always been known simply as "la raquette en acier" (the steel racquet). When you think about it, this thing really didn't 'need' a model name at the time, as it was impossible to confuse it with anything else available.

The same situation occurred when Prince marketed their first oversized frame (retroactively given the "Classic" designation in later years, when it was joined by younger siblings). Vendors simply listed it as the "Prince" when it was still one-of-a-kind (and the only offering from Prince), just like the "Cher", the "Modonna", and the other "Prince"...
